I LOVED Sonos.

I told anyone who would listen to buy their stuff.

I will never buy a Sonos product again.

I will be replacing my 5 speakers with alternatives.

Yes, many features are missing and the current app is a shadow of its former self.  Time will tell whether Sonos can live up to its promises and restore full functionality.  But, act in haste and repent at leisure. 

The new app is horrible. It's more difficult by making intuitive. Scrolling in your music library no long has the quick alpha search. It's difficult to find your Playlists. When playing new music it defaults to the first player in your list, causing you to reset which player you want to designate. 

What a headache!
